Last Thursday, my beloved cat Willow suffered a urinary blockage and needed emergency surgery. Unfortunately, there were complications after her first surgery—urine began leaking from her bladder into her abdomen, and she needed a second surgery on Monday. To help her body heal from these two major surgeries, Willow is now on a catheter and receiving 24-hour care at the veterinary facility. The costs for this ongoing care are very high, but I want to do everything possible to give Willow the best chance at a full recovery.

The funds raised will go directly toward Willow’s continued care at the facility, covering her stay while she’s on the catheter and ensuring she gets the attention she needs. The vets believe that once she pulls through this, she’ll have a long, healthy life ahead of her. Willow is only five years old. She’s become the star at the vet’s office—getting lots of love and attention, which she’s enjoying despite everything she’s been through.

If you know me, you know how much I love Willow. Anyone who has met her knows she’s a very special cat. I want to give her the best chance at recovery. This has been an extremely difficult time for me and I thank all of those that have been there. Your support means the world to us.
